Homebrew Studios’ ‘Beanstalker Jack’ out now
In the 2020’s, a lie always travels faster than the truth. This film is a 28 minute mockumentary about Jack and the Beanstalk, presented as a news show.
Is Jack a sweet boy or a teenage thug? Is the giant a bad man or just an ordinary bloke who gets robbed by a teenage thug? How does the Giant’s wife cope? How much is Jack’s mum to blame?
Who is the online scammer? Why is shrink, Dr Fraud on the show at all? What’s with the goose?
Does reporter Noem Pathy care about this story at all?
This film asks what is the truth, and how do we find it. How do we know what isn’t true?
It is aimed at adults and kids (PG). (No swearing or rude things).
Filmed around Hobart with absolutely no money and troubled by cast members getting Covid.
This and our other films are free to view on YouTube.
